Questionable Relationships with Stryker

Some personal injury attorneys, including Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC, maintain a professional and private distance against companies and entities that are defendants in civil lawsuits. However, over the years, Stryker has had questionable relationships with physicians and a lawmaker that when revealed, made the national news.

In 2014, the Stryker Corporation agreed to pay more than $1.4 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who had been injured by the company's defective artificial hip implant devices. The plaintiffs had claimed that defects in the design of the Rejuvenate or ABG II modular-neck hip replacement devices caused injury through corrosion, implant failure, and the release of metal ions from the joint grinding causing metallosis (metal poisoning).

In 2013, the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined Stryker $13.4 million for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The commission alleged that the company bribed doctor's overseas with payments totaling more than $2.2 million. In 2017, the Oregon Democratic Party filed a complaint against orthopedic surgeon Dr. Knute Buehler, alleging that the state representative failed to disclose payments of nearly $100,000 received from Pfizer, Inc. and the Stryker Corporation.

The complaint revealed the doctor's previously undisclosed financial relationship with Stryker had begun in the year 2000, stating:

“We contend that as a candidate and a State legislature, Representative Buehler knowingly and purposely hid his financial relationships with pharmaceutical and medical device corporations. Rep. Buehler knew his campaigns would be damaged by being associated with companies like Stryker, that has paid millions for violating laws and to settle lawsuits from patients who surgeries were botched.”

Defective Stryker Implant recalls

In 2007, Stryker Howmedica Osteonics Corporation applied with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for approval of their Rejuvenate artificial hip replacement device. The implant manufacturer sidestepped the traditional approval process and instead elected to submit an expedited process allowed by the FDA if the company can prove the new artificial hip is “substantially similar” to previously approved devices.

Stryker did not have to conduct clinical trials or extensive tests on the Rejuvenate device before marketing, distributing and selling the artificial hip in the medical marketplace. The artificial hip replacement unit became popular with surgeons who implanted the artificial joints in thousands of patients worldwide. A couple of years after the first Rejuvenate artificial hip implant surgery was performed, many patients began experiencing unexpected severe side effects including metal poisoning, hip dislocation, joint instability, cognitive problems, nausea, kidney problems and other life-threatening medical conditions.

By 2012, the FDA pushed Stryker to recall their Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Hip Replacement devices voluntarily. The company pulled all their available artificial hip joints from the market and issued an Urgent Safety Notification, warning patients with Stryker implants about concerns over severe implant-related health problems. Within months, attorneys began filing defective Stryker hip implant lawsuits against the artificial hip implant manufacturer in local county courthouses and a Minnesota federal MDL (multidistrict) court.

“Too many lawyers try pass you off to another person in their office to answer questions. Not Jonathan. I have already referred some family members to Jonathan for their injury cases. I consider Jonathan both my lawyer and my friend.”- Annie

Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld. Michonne Proulx

Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong

This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you. Daniel Kaim

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa
